[kinyonga]

It depends on the species. Some need the cooling and others don't.

Sounds like they are fertile. Usually when candled fertile eggs show small red veins. Infertile eggs usually glow yellow, and have a yellowish appearence anyway. The best test of course though (if youre not sure), is time

yep they sound fertile if you have candled them close to when they were laid you should see a sort of bulls eye which is the two rings your talking about. then later on in the incubation you should be able to see veins and the eggs will be a pink/red colour but as cleef said if they appear yellow then they are probably infertile (keep these anyway as many people have said yellow eggs can turn out to be fertile and fertiles can equaly go infertile quickly.) hope this helps
